4 cup Flour, sifted

Poppy seeds


Thoroughly cream butter or margarine and sugar. Add egg, vanilla,
lemon extract and lemon zest; beat well.

Sift together flour and baking powder; add gradually to creamed
mixture, mixing to a smooth dough. Force dough through cooky press,
using a star or swirl shape, onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake in hot oven, 400 degrees 8 to 10 minutes. Cool.

Icing: Sift the powdered sugar and add the lemon extract. Add the
milk a little at a time. You want the result to be a thin frosting.
Add yellow food coloring and stir until blended. You want the color
of the frosting to be paler than the color of the cookies.

When the cookies are completely cool, put the frosting into a small
ziploc bag. Cut a small hole in one corner, and squeeze the bag to
force the thin frosting out the hole. Starting in the center of each
cookie, make a sprial of frosting going out toward the edges of the
cookie. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, and let the icing set.

Diet hints and tips

If your aim is to become thin and make improvements in your all round well-being, then, as any doctor will tell you, you really should decide on a carefully designed healthy-minded meal plan. In a perfect world, this must include five standard portions of fruit & vegetables on a daily basis and also take in a sensible mix of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.

When planning a weight loss program, the most important step is to also try to cut down your consumption of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.

When chosing foods for dieting, people frequently direct your attention to food store and well known products professing to be 'low fat'. To do this is usually a miscalculation, seeing as how a food product may be reduced in fat content, but whilst still being much too high in carbohydrates.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Your body must have plain water , it is essential for our body's wellbeing and is blessed with calories and fat. It is also good in that it fills your empty stomach and helps decrease sensations of hunger. The recommended portions physicians allege that we should aim to drink at the minimum six cups of plain water each day.

Rather than thinking about the junk foods you really should leave out of your meal plan, look at the healthy foods that you are able to add to your weight loss program. If one can manage to introduce the recommended portions nourishing grains, cereals and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel full and have a much lower chance of giving in to those detrimental midday munchies.
